New York whitewater - Twentymile Creek, Chautauqua County

Chautauqua county, South Ripley to Lake Erie section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-IV     10.5 miles
  The average New York whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The put-in location is a short drive from Jamestown-Dunkirk-Fredonia, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The South Ripley to Lake Erie section of Twentymile Creek in Chautauqua County is 10.5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-IV section of whitewater. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons
    to come. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The South Ripley to Lake Erie stretch is the only paddling stretch along Twentymile Creek. You can pitch a tent or park your
RV at a nearby campground. The scenic beauty of New York and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your camping stuff too. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other rivers.
